What are Data spaces?

Data spaces are environments where trusted partners share data and adhere to the same standards. The relevance of data spaces lies in the ability to leverage the abundance of unused data scattered across multiple sectors. This has led to the development of standards that facilitate secure and safe data exchange among parties. The standards establish clear agreements regarding security, certification, standardised technology components, and more. Parties can establish exchanges based on mutual trust by using the standard frameworks.

iSHARE Trust Framework was developed to improve data exchange between parties. The underlying assumption is that if data can flow in a controlled and smart way, it will lead to efficient use of infrastructure and more competitiveness. iSHARE focuses on the key elements: Identification, Authentication, and Authorization, which are essential for effective communication between parties. The iSHARE Trust Framework helps data spaces organise their governance along with IAM and Operational workflows.
